Things you DIDN’T know about the Notebook Sisters

If you’ve been following our blog since The Beginning of All Things, you know a lot about us. (You are also very dedicated and we admire you for sticking with us for so long.) BUT. If you’re new (bless you), how would you feel about a little About The Weird And Fabulous Sisters post?

Oh, I just knew you’d say, “Oh yes, please, that would be wonderful!”

Three things have inspired this post:1) It’s been a looong time since we did a this-is-us-in-all-our-weird-glory post.2) Our AWESOME friend Treskie tagged us (and Cait owes her big time because Cait’s been sending her loooong fangirling emails about the Supernatural fandom and all the feels it entails). Also, do go see her blog. It. is. hilarious.3) This is a brilliant chance to (sneakily) ask ALL our followers to come out of the woodwork, say hey, and leave a link to their blogs so we can “meet” everyone officially!

Yeees, this is kind of a tag. We don’t do tags. (Except for today.) So, first, we’ll list some things about ourselves and then we’ll answer some of Treskie’s questions.

Mime1. I have two personas: I am either Spock, or Rapunzel. That is to say, I’m super organised, factual, and have no emotions, or I’m all over the place and really into art.

2. I love music. I love listening to it, I love playing it, I love watching people make it. It’s just great.

4. I don’t get time to read much at the moment, even though I really enjoy it. School does that, which is one of its more unfortunate side effects.

5. On the flip side, I’m a Year 10 school student, and I legitimately enjoy studying and researching the most random stuff in my free time–most of it pertains to planning out the next 3-5 years of my life… see what I mean? Spock and Rapunzel.

Cait1. I have a ridiculous book cover obsession. Seriously. I want to read books JUST because of their covers. Sometimes I stroke them.

2. I’m short. I’m 5’1. I have an older brother who is 6 foot. You can imagine how annoying this is while trying to converse.

3. I’m training for the zombie apocalypse. I’m hoarding peanut butter. I run 2.6kms every morning. I never wear high heels, juuuust in case all zombieness bursts loose and I need to run for my life.

4. Humans will be the death of me. I swear, the moment one looks at me and says, “Hi how are you?” I forget the English language entirely. In real life I speak like this, “Yes, I’m was am good, um, thanks and what about yes yourself how are you yourself today, um, yeah?” #UNEDITED.

5. Even though I live in Australia, I’m like 1/4 Italian and my last name is German. If it was WWII, I’d be of sinister intentions. Actually (while we’re on this topic) “Drews” is derived from the Germanic name “Drogo”. So therefore I am related to Frodo son of Drogo.

AND YOU THOUGHT THE ONE RING WAS DESTROYED. MWHAHAHA.

questions from our fabulous friend Treskie

1) Are you musically inclined?

MIME: I would think so. As mentioned above, music is my thing. I’m AMEB Grade 7 for the flute, though a meagre Grade 3 for piano (I should be moving up to Grade 4 soon, though.)

CAIT: Yeah, yeah, Mozart up there is claiming all the little trophies. But I play a WICKED Kraken theme on the piano. I used to play violin, but then I got tired. Now I play the cello (I get to sit down).

2) What is your opinion on spiders?

MIME: WE HATES THEM, PRECIOUS!CAIT: BURN THEM AND SALT THEM AND THEN SHOOT THE REMAINS.

3) What’s taters, Precious, eh? What’s taters?

4) Do you have siblings? If so, how many?CAIT: I’m an only child.

MIME: We adopted her as our alien pet, and every so often we feed her kryptonite to keep her from destroying the universe. Other than that, I have, wait, let me count… five siblings? Including her? Six all up? Yeah, that sounds right.

5) If you were to give a fake name at Starbucks, what name would you choose and why?CAIT: For starters, we don’t HAVE Starbucks. (Well, maybe they do in Melbourne.) We have something called Gloria Jeans. You get to wear jeans when you go there. I would probably leave the name Megamind: Evil Genius and Master of All Villainy.

MIME: Free coffee. So then when they call it out, “Free coffee!” and try to make me pay, I’ll say the advertised falsely, and they’d have to give it to me for free.CAIT: I’ve trained my little baby so well. She’s all grown up and destroying things.

6) Can you finish this quote? “Life is pain, highness, anyone who says differently –“

MIME: “Selling something.” Anyone who doesn’t know that had a sad and lonely childhood.

7) Movies or TV shows?CAIT: I’m going to say…you know, I’m actually torn? I DO love how TV shows are shorter and you don’t have to sit still for THREE HOURS. 40mins and you can get up. (And then sit back down to watch another episode.) Movies have soundtracks, though. Awesome soundtracks. MIME: Movies! Because you get the epicness for up to THREE HOURS!

8) If money and maintenance were not a problem, would you own a black 1967 Chevy Impala?

MIME:

CAIT: Hmph, Mime. It’s a fandom reference you wouldn’t understand. And, yes, by the way. I wouldn’t know how to drive it (I only drive automatic so far), but yes. Just because.

aaaand now it’s your turn!

We’re not “tagging” or anything, but if you want to say “hi” if you haven’t before DO IT. And if you’re feeling up to the challenge, you could list 5 things about yourself in the comments. (You know you want to.) We comment back. We also like to get to know our fabulous bloggly friends, because you guys are quite awesome. Just saying.

And for those of you who we already know and stalk and all that? We like you. You’re the best.

And leave a link to your blog! Please! We want to visit your corner of the internet.

Cait and Mime are sisters (believe it or not). They’re favourite pastimes include annoying each other, analysing disney characters, and eating. They eat all sorts of things. But not each other. Because that is called canibalism is frowned up in most societies. Currently Mime is reading CRESS by Marissa Meyer and Cait is reading LOLA AND THE BOY NEXT DOOR by Stephanie Perkins.

You two are just too cute, I shall smush you both together and carry you in my pocket. The Pocket Sisters, has a nice ring to it. Five things about me?1. I'm almost married. It's not official, but who needs a piece of paper after ten years.2. I'm a Guitar Hero master.3. The first thing I do as soon as I get home, is chuck on the moccos. Every Aussie should have a pair.4. I can't sleep without earplugs. 5. I'm the third Notebook Sister. You know, the older unfunny one.

Oh gosh, The Pocket Sisters has an excellent ring to it. And…oh…I DON'T own a pair of moccos. I. do. not. I'm NOT PROPERLY AUSTRALIAN, THEN?! *has country identity crisis* Ah, the third Notebook Sister? I can see that…the one who got separated in cyberspace, right? XD

You guys are so awesome I just want to have tea parties with you and watch Supernatural marathons or Disney marathons or something. Er five things. Er.1. I also have a cover addiction. And yes… I will likely buy a book for it's cover. #Guilty2. I used to collect Lego, put them in amusing poses and take pictures. If you don't believe me visit my Instagram… @LegoOfMe3. I cross stitch. Avidly. And I also make patterns which earns me Actual Money sometimes.4. I will never ever understand the term 'What's up?' Countless hoards have tried to make me understand but to no avail.5. I made a button of your blog and put it on my blog. Owl is pretty happy there.★ Under The Mountain ★

Yes yes yes I want to have a Supernatural marathon with you yes yes yes. We can obsess (guiltily) about or cover love addictions and NOT say "what's up" to each other, because frankly it's not the most logical thing to greet people with. OMG you made a button of our blog?! *squeaks in happiness*

You are my favourites. You're like the better half of the vlogbrothers. And those photos are fantastic 😛 (I'm going to wear jeans every time I go to Gloria Jeans now)Five things about me!1) I dance. Sometimes. Contemporary, mostly. 2) My favourite colour is yellow. 3) My last name is Mead, which is a type of alcohol, which is awesome. 4) I am also an only child. Except for my two sisters and four kind-of-step-siblings. 5) I waitress at a Thai restaurant. (you might know this? I don't know. I can't remember what I put on the internet)

SEE THIS? EVERYBODY SEE THIS. SHE HAS COMPARED US TO THE VLOGBROTHERS. #daymadeYou dance? I didn't know that! Dancing is cool. So you play the piano AND dance, oh wow, talent talent. You're epic. Just sayin'. We can be only children together. And I did know you were waitressing…but the real question is: do you get free Thai food? Because I won't lie, that would be stupendous.

Hmm, five things you say…1. I'm old. Like, turning 31 next month old. Sometimes I feel like a creeper when I read your blog because of my advanced age.2. I could happily eat pasta every day for the rest of my life.3. I moved a lot as a kid, domestic (Melbourne, Sydney, Lismore, Brisbane) and international (Canada, England). As a result, I'm up to passport #5.4. I own over 400 DVDs. I'm like Carrie Bradshaw, but with DVDs instead of shoes.5. When I was six, I got drunk on fondue. I nearly fell over a waterfall. True story.

OMG YOU'RE SO OLD. XD XD Oookay, I'm just teasing (I couldn't resist). My oldest sister, who I hang out with ALL the time is 31. Besides Mime, she is my bestest sister of ever. Sooo, don't feel old. I could happily eat pasta everyday of my life too. I have suggested it to my mum, buuuut, she's really weird about vegetables. Passport #5, though? JEALOUS. I would loooove to see Paris… Okay, you know you could start, like, a movie hire company…just sayin'.

Ooh 5 things about me…1) I HATE spiders!!! I mean, why do they need to move so fast and look so creepy and why do they need so many damn legs if it isn't to crawl over your face in the middle of the night???!!! *shudder* I have a terror of them crawling into my ears or nose during the night…2) I have a small bag packed with essentials like medicine, batteries etc in case the zombie apocalypse comes. I did this after reading a zombie novel that scared my ass off and I've never really got round to unpacking it…3) I make news scrapbooks. By that I mean I cut articles out of the newspapers every day on world events, funny cartoons, cool stories and put them in my scapbooks. I have a scrapbook for every year since 1994. It's a pain to do but I love looking back through them all.4) My children are my stuffed monkeys. I have about 30 of them(all boys) and I hate going on holiday coz I have to leave them all home alone!5) I am a sloth. I laze about on the computer, read in my bed, watch TV and films, listen to music etc. My idea of exercise is going to the toilet or the fridge.

I had a spider crawl up my leg while I was brushing my teeth one night…I swear, it has destroyed what I had of sanity. I am STILL brushing my legs constantly (just to check) and that was months ago. *sobs* I'm scarred for life. Not to mention the time I found a HUGE huntsman in the shower….I killed it with shampoo. I know. Trauma. Those scrapbooks sounds insanely cool. That's really dedication! Good on you! I confess, I'm not keen on stuffed monkeys. >_< We used to have this monkey, when I was little, with glassy brown eyes and it scared the heck out of me all. the. time.

I'm an average height person in a family of giants and it is extremely irritating. Sometimes they look over my head and pretend not to see me *cries*Fun facts!!Thanks so much for stopping by! Jen @ YA Romantics

Awww, I feel for you, Jen! I used to play soccer at a youth group, aaaand, people kept stepping on me. Like full on flattening me. I ended up flat on the ground once. I mean, come on, I'm not INVISIBLE. I petitioned to get myself steel cap boots.

LOVE THIS POST!!! You guys are hilarious LOL I feel like I've gotten to know you guys so much better after this post =) I'll attempt 5 things about myself!1. I JUST WATCHED THE DIVERGENT MOVIE?!!!!! LIKE THAT'S THE ONLY THING THAT COMES TO MIND RIGHT NOW OMG. LOVED IT. FANTASTIC <32. Spotify addict muaha3. If Mime is Spock or Rapunzel, I'm uh. Spock locked in a tower waiting for a prince to say "Spock, Spock, let down your hair!"4. I'm super lazy so I almost always never do my own laundry. Until absolute necessary =)5. LOVE YOUR BLOG!!!!Alicia @ Summer Next Top Story

Yay!! I'm so glad you liked this post, Alicia!! And I LOVE your facts. I WANT DIVERGENT NOW TOO YES I DO. WHY IS IT NOT IN MY COUNTRY. PLEASE. I NEED IT. I can toootally see the whole Spock letting down his hair image. That works. That does. I never iron. Ironing is useless. Unless I remind myself that if I iron it will turn me into Iron Woman and then it's nearly worth it.

HAHAHA Too adorable!! <3 Mime's answer made me laugh way too hard: "We adopted her as our alien pet, and every so often we feed her kryptonite…"I think I might do this soon with my sister HAHA (hmm why not?)Here's mine ;)1. I am now on the verge of freaking out because tomorrow is release of grades day2. I am halfway through my Divergent movie review and I can't seem to finish it (boo Abby)3. I love Math above any subject ever since I was young.4. I haven't read the Harry Potter series and I am dying to get my hands on the box set!!!5. I am living a My Mad Fat Diary life right now. That tv show literally blew my mind and can I just say that the cast is perfect….and British. HAHA

1. I hate the day before getting grades back–or the moment when they're handing them out, and everyone else is seeing their mark, and you haven't got yours yet, and you're panicking… yep.2. No fair! I can't wait to see it!3. Okay, you're kind of weird. I don't hate math, but… you're weird. ;)4. Same!5. Oh, haven't heard of that show before! Sounds cool!

I am the shorter Notebook. See, I am only 5 foot (point something, but anyway.) Supernatural is apparently very good. She now has me watching it. Speaking of which, I'm off to finish the first episode…

Cait, I love that you are training for the zombie apocalypse! At least we know we can still do our hobby while hiding out, since books are not electronic (at least not always) and people have them in their house!Missie @ A Flurry of Ponderings

"I'm an only child.""Free coffee."lol I love it!1) Librarian by day, stage manager by night2) I was denied entry into Ravenclaw by The Sorting Hat, so now I sit at the cool kids table with the other Hufflepuffs.3) I'm an only child. (No, seriously, I am.) I'm not married, and I don't have any kids yet. There's still so much in life to experience.4) I have an unhealthy Chanel obsession.5) I'm a Marvel movie nerd, and I think I'm descendant of Storm from the X-Men. Shhh.

1. I am also going to be a librarian (briefly). I'm doing it for work experience in two weeks. Very excited!2. According to a fandom quiz I did once, I'm Ravenclaw… the name makes me feel like I'm supposed to be evil or something.3. Ah, you poor person! Siblings are great! :)4. Haha5. Cait is a descendent of Rogue (she hates touching people.) I'd like to say that I have similarities to Professor X, but Cait would laugh.

Hi Cait and Mime!This was a fun tag. I enjoyed reading it!!!About me… w-e-l-l, my name is Joy, and I live in Australia too, in Queensland :D. I have lived in NSW for some years before that, though I am a Coptic Christian by birth and was actually born in Egypt (I have lived most of my life in Australia!) =). I'm entering into yr 11 highschool, and am 18 :p. I am a writer and reader too (I love the classics, historical fiction, mystery and fantasy). I play the violin, am a big fan of the Lord of the Rings (yayy, for Frodo and Samwise!)… and have three sisters who're my best friends.I cheered when you mentioned Gloria Jeans (why do they all rant about Starbucks so much!!?? Humph!) – not that I ever visit it much. And I know what 'AMEB' is :D. I am working on 4th grade AMEB right now with the violin which is fuuunn, but lots of work!I love your fun blog with reviews and stuff. It is very interesting, and also exciting that you live in Australia =).I blog over at Fullness of Joy about my stories, favourite books/movies, life, music, faith… and of random things in between. 😀 This might be my first time commenting, but I have been stalking your blog for a while and I think you follow my blog.God bless!Joy @ joy-live4jesus.blogspot.com

Yay! My name is Sam and I blog over at http://www.youngwriterscafe.wordpress.com 1. I have an unhealthy obsession with Once Upon a Time (tv show)2. I love reading and writing (duh)3. I am sarcastic4. I love Divergent (has anyone seen the movie yet. Anyone?) 5. I check Noteboook Sisters for new posts on a daily basis. It is not stalking! I love you guys!

1. I need to see Once Upon a Time. It looks amazing.2. But it's a good obsession, reading and writing! One of the best!3. Me too. Who knew, right?4. No!!!! I want to see it so bad, but us poor Australians haven't got it yet.5. We love our friendly stalkers. They're the best. 🙂

Five facts about me: 1. I realized that I dressed as a Divergent today.2. My outfit is grey. (Abnegation)3. But it has a few holes. (Dauntless)4. And the shirt says Careful, or you'll end up in my novel. (Erudite)5. And this is way too honest. (Candor)~Robyn Hoode

Yes train for that zombie apocolypse…i have zombie dreams constantly..even when I'm not reading or watching anything recently that is zombie related! I must train the husband on how to assemble, disassemble, clean, load and fire a gun…cause what if I get taken out? How the heck is my civilian husband going to survive!?1. I collect hand made dolls..and my sister became a doll artist so now I have a source for my doll needs….1. I pick up and discard crafting artsy hobbies all the time…I call it my Attention Deficit Crafting3. Yeah stupid ipad commenting wont let me go back and renumber these properly…just deal with it!4. I can wiggle my ears, no fooling.5. I do not like cake! So, let them have cake literally cause I don't want it!

I AM NOT ALONE. Zombies are a real threat, honestly, I don't think people take it seriously enough. (I take everything seriously, obviously.) Doll collection…that is sooo cool. I did see that in your About Me bit on your blog. And your profile pick? Wicked. Seriously. I have an Attention Deficit Crafting Disorder too…eh, I used to sew and stuff, buuut then books and paper took over my life. I'm a goner. Nobody save me. HOW CAN YOU NOT LIKE CAKE?!

Such fun, the both of you. Somehow I can count on your blog for a laugh. And I will have a go, cos I don't mind being nice like that.1. I'm learning Latin American Spanish, and actually get to practice with an actual person from Latin America. Before that there was only the computer …2. I am of the firm belief that book shops are the best parts of a shopping centre. 3. The librarians at the library know me. (Like my face.)4. My favourite genre of books is historical fiction.5. Caramel is my favourite flavour of anything, literally.

THAT IS THE BEST NEWS EVER. We love to make people laugh. We make ourselves laugh (that's an unfortunate side-effect of being incredibly weird).Book shops are the ONLY point of a shopping centre. I arrange to get myself left in the book section. But it's incredibly hard then, because I'm too tempted to read all the books and I end up doing crazy things to avoid bending the spines. The librarians at my library sort of know me…well, up until last week. But that's a looong story. -_- I don't speak to them, though. We just exchange book-loving-nods-of-appreciation.

Oh goodness…this will be interesting…1). I'm an actress. 2). I'm really short (I think I've told you this before)…so, therefore, by association, I'm a gymnast.3). My favorite books are The Hunger Games by Suzanne Collins, The Giver by Lois Lowry, Flipped by Wendelin van Draanen, and Tiger Lily by Jodi Lynn Anderson.4). I have a horrible sweet tooth. Really, it's like a curse…5). Your blog was one of the blogs that inspired me to start blogging! Thanks for sharing Cait and Mime! You're both SOO hilarious! ("Free coffee, I'm an only child…" baha!) You guys seriously rock! xD

So you're an acting gymnast. Or only ACTING as a gymnast? OMG YOU ARE AN UNDERCOVER SPY. (See? This is why I'm not to be trusted with limited information.) I love your favourite books. Your favourite books recommend you as an awesome person. Sweet teeth are not horrible. They are life.

This post is hilarious! Also, I'm going to cheat and direct you to this link instead of doing the tag, in hopes that you will make an exception for another tag, because I nominated you for the Liebster Award. 🙂 Also, to clarify, I'm pretending you don't have 220 Google followers, since the cutoff for the award is 200 (we'll just go with your 155 Bloglovin' number). I mean, there's two of you, so if we divide the numbers equally, it all works out, right?

I love this post! You guys are awesome and I stalk your blog… far too much 😉 I feel like I am going to have to hop on a plane, fight Cait for the one ring and steal the precious for myself. The one that is currently sitting on my bedside table is clearly a fake! Now, let's see… 5 things about me:1. I am also addicted to Supernatural! The boyfriend introduced me when we started going out in 2006 and I have been obsessed ever since. He was a brave boy introducing me to that show because now he has to accept my love for those Winchester boys. I would definitely own a Chevy Impala, it's on my wishlist! I can't even drive but I would just sit and stare at that baby.2. I am also short. *high five*. I am literally 5ft and then 0.1 of an inch. Some would say that 0.1 of an inch does not count nor matter but they would be wrong. It officially means that I am over 5ft. 3. I don't wear heels either. I am prepared for the zombie horde that's coming but I also just suck at walking in high heels. I'm a converse girl all the way, it comes from growing up as a total tomboy. 4. I just dyed my hair to, what was supposed to be, my natural brown. I picked the complete wrong colour and now my hair is now practically black and I hate it. I have spent days just constantly washing my hair in the hopes it lightens. It's kind of working but mostly making my boyfriend and our flat mate think I'm some sort of mermaid – kind of like the girl from Splash. 5. When I get home from work I instantly put my pyjamas on; no matter what time of day it is. Seriously, it's becoming a problem! P.S Talking to strangers also makes me forget the English language. Unless I am at work and then I somehow manage it. It's weird. Great post!Charnell @ Reviews from a Bookworm

BUT I STALK YOUR BLOG FAR TOO MUCH. I love your blog. ^.^ *hi-fives for short people* Woot. We're just small and perfect, that is the truth of the matter. You and I will survive the zombie apocalypse reeeally fast. Okay, well, maybe the brain eating part, but then I think we'd die of Winchester Withdrawal, which I think is a real Thing. It should not be. I'm already on withdrawal because I'm waiting to watch season 2. *cries quietly*

Ah! I just found you guys again. Yay! I found this blog once, then I lost it. (So not kidding)1. I am a chocoholic2. I am proud to be an American (While we still have a few morals anyways)3. I love animals, five horses (One is not yet ready to meet us till May 1st) two dogs, two cats, and chickens4. I absolutely love words, especially funny ones. Writing them, reading them, saying them (I am a bit of an introvert in the 'real world' though)5. I wouldn't be sane if it weren't for Jesus Christ 🙂 I just love Him.teenwordsofsteel.blogspot.com

1. I am, too.2. I am, not.3. Animals seem to think that I am an excellent specimen to jump on… the feeling isn't exactly mutual, but horses are really cool, I think.4. People think the worlds I manage to use are weird. (I can use discombobulate in a sentence.)5. That is awesome. 🙂

this is a very fun post! I'm still staring at that potato gif. lol. Hmmm.. Things about me. 1. I hate chocolate and Peanut butter mixed together. Love chocolate, Love peanut butter, but together… it tastes like Vom.. Reeses are the devil.2. I used to be a member of an online Karaoke site. I love to sing, but there were freaking weirdos on there. I jumped ship.3. I like the smell of my own farts, but no one else's. Pretty sure everyone feels that way but they would never admit it. 4. I went into the Army after HS. The Gas Chamber was horrible… but I lived through basic training, amazingly. 5. I was born with Cleft Lip and Pallet. I've had 5 or 6 reconstructive surgery's since I was a baby. Nobody can really tell I have it. Great surgeons.

I just stared at that potato gif for ages too…amazing how addictive it is. Go Sam. I LOVE CHOCOLATE AND PEANUT BUTTER. We don't have Reeses in Oz, but I have tried them and ew, I didn't like them. Peanut butter and chocolate muffins on the other hand…yum.

I loved this post! So fun. Okay, here we go:1. I'm homeschooled. Have been for a few years now. 2. I've watched the TV show Lost from beginning to end three times and I want to watch it again.3. I have so many books I can't fit them all in my bookshelf. Instead most of them are stacked in my desk.4. I HATE SPIDERS. I don't care if they're big, small, hairy, not hairy, poisonous, not poisonous, I hate them all.5. Chocolate is the best food ever invented by mankind.

I was homeschooled too! (I graduated now, so I'm a full time evil genius mastermind.) I feel like your relationship with Lost will be my relationship with Supernatural. Not even kidding how much I love that show. SPIDERS SHOULD NOT EXIST.

Hmmm….1. I'm not the brightest Asian. More like the Asian makers missed me, ha.2. I hate sweets – like icing – but I crave chocolate3. I don't know what year I am… but I'm a Sophomore. o_o4. I'm supposed to know 4 languages. I only know 1 and the second is decent5. I'm actually shy… contrary to my randomness~Sophia @ Bookwyrming Thoughts

I'm not the brightest Australian. At all. Pity, that. I'm not such a fan of sugary lollies…buuut chocolate? Anything chocolate. And yes, I will lick all the icing off everything. I'm REALLY SHY TOO. Like ridiculously so. *unites in shyness* That is why I love the internet so much. I'm supposed to know 1 language and it's English and I really don't understand it at all.

Mime: Very jealous that you love performing because I hate it and totally freak out weeks before I have a piano concert. I totally get the pain of school taking away reading time. I barely have any time lately either :(Cait: WOMAN HOW CAN YOU RUN 2.6KM IN THE MORNING WHEN YOU COULD BE READING? HUH? Awesome post, ladies! <33

I really freak out too…. :((( I quit preforming because seriously my brain just can't take it anymore. Now I play cello home quietly in my room and I'm falling in love with music all over again. *hugs cello* Um, as for, the, er, running not reading…um. MY GUILTY OBSESSION. I can't read if a zombie eats me, though, right? I need to take precautions so I can live forever and read.

Hi Cait and Mime! Awesome post!My name is Dre (short for Andreana).1) I'm a Filipina.2) I'm 5'2. I don't wear heels either. I'm a Converse kind of girl. I anticipate the zombie apocalypse, so I do have food hoarded on my cupboard. Mainly Nutella, Biscoff, lots of tea, instant pesto mix, and Pepero Almond Sticks.3) I can't stand chocolate-flavored anything, like cakes, ice cream – but I do like chocolate, like the candy.4) I am more comfortable talking to a foreigner than a fellow Filipino stranger. 5) I've performed with a band called "Peanut Butter and Jelly" in a huge arena when I was 23 years old. It was both exciting and nerve wracking! I guess, that's it! 😀

Oooooh! Learnt so much about you guys in one post. I need to do one of these one day! Well, I'll write it up when I can think of 5 things! I don't know how people do 50 of these in one go. I can barely think of one haha! Loved post so much though, I'd love to know more about you guys. 😉

Hello, great post, I'd love to claim to be an only child too, but no 1 of 5.anyway here's another 5 things..1. I'm from Queensland2. I attempt to blog at SerieslyReading but when I started my blog I temporarily forgot that I can't write very well, but i shall keep trying.3. Well then I am a giant amongst you all too, 6'14. I don't like my own name 5. I am also a book cover addict, if the book is pretty I take it home, which is why I have so many boxes and stacks of books here and at my mothers house. I also can't bring myself to move any along, they're mine

CAIT OH MY WORD. Okay I know I'm taller than just about everybody, but I was not expecting that…#5: I LOVE IT. You two are hilarious XD And thank you Mime, for that wonderful idea. I must try it myself. Oki, five things about myself. (now my brain just goes blank and I can't think of anything). 1. I've been to England and Ireland. 2. I just turned 18 and got a car and my permit and I love driving. 3. I got four books at our library booksale yesterday and apparently they're awesome books(three I just grabbed on a whim because they looked good) because most of my writer friends squealed and cried over them as soon as I told them the titles. 4. I am currently reading the Cinder series. (Thought you might like to know that XD)5. And I'm homeschooled too.

Mime: I love performing too! Not in the music department, but I'm really into public speaking and acting. ^_^Lucky you, Cait, being 5'1". I'm 4'10". *dies of embarrassment* Everyone's all, Hey, you're still fourteen and will probably get taller! Yeah, thanks. GIVE ME TIPS. D: I'm like, the shortest girl in my class. Five stuff, huh? *insert evil laugh here* These will be the first 5 things that will pop into my head. And this may be long. I'm a talkative person!1. In class, I'm known as the "Banana Girl," or sometimes the "Fact Fairy." When my teacher asked us to introduce ourselves in class with something unique about ourselves, I mentioned something about bananas, and my classmates all took it in the pervy way, which was totally not my intention!2. I can't sleep early. Even if I don't have homework or finish at around nine PM, I just lie down and can't fall asleep at least until midnight. And I used to wake up at around lunchtime, but now my mom's forcing me to wake up earlier.3. My favorite subject is English, because I totally love ranting in book reports. (Why do schools have to pick the books we read for us, huh!?)4. I'm one of those weird girls that doesn't like shopping. I'd take a day alone at home than a few hours in the mall any day.5. I'm pretty moody. The simplest things can piss me off or make me laugh like some kind of deranged monkey.Loved learning about you two! 😀 <3

Wow…you are short. OKAY LOL I'M JUST TEASING. Buuut, I don't want to be a meanie, but I did NOT grow after I turned 14. Sooo, just sayin'. 😉 Hey short people are awesome. We can get cheap kids meals because we look small and adorable (seriously, try that, it works a charm). I can't sleep either. *sigh* I lie around plotting books and blogs and world domination stuff, but alas, not much sleep…. I HATE SHOPPING. Gah! Give me a book and the internet any day.

Ha ha! I talk like you, Cait, when anyone greets me. It's so hard for me to be coherent! lol And for the five things … let's see …1. I have very wide feet that I think could qualify as hobbit feet.2. My family moves around often, so naturally, I do too.3. I like to read the dictionary.4. I requested Divergent from the library but I'm the 800th person in the queue so it's gonna be a while! (Okay, so maybe that's not really about me …)5. I am (quite) seriously thinking of coloring my hair dark purple, blue, or red.

Coherent is over-rated, pfft, I want to wear a shirt that says "Don't talk to me, email if you have something to say"..buuut, I don't own one. I should. I talk SO much better via email. My family moves around a lot too, so I understand you there! AW, no, like that's SO NOT FAIR. Libraries don't give me books when I demand them either, though, if it makes you feel better. They make me wait in line. I don't think they know how awesome I really am.

Oh, you guys are too cute! I feel like we should do a post like this on our blog because I seriously just learned some things about my co-blogger April up there that I didn't know, and we've been friends for, like, three years now!Anyway, here's my five random things:1. Before deciding on accounting as a profession, I wanted to be an astronaut. I had even started talking to an Air Force recruiter in high school before deciding that I'm too lazy for that kind of thing. :)2. I am short, and I think I'm shrinking. When I was in high school and had to put my height on my driver's license, it said 5'2". But now, I'm more like 5'1" and my 6yo daughter is already up to my chest. She's going to be tall like her daddy.3. I'm a total spreadsheet nerd. I actually volunteer for projects if there's a chance I'll get to create a spreadsheet for them.4. My parents nicknamed me Nette, short for Jeannette, when I was a kid. I shared that in class one day and my crush started calling me Netterbug for some odd reason. I retaliated by calling him Daniel the Cocker Spaniel. He stopped calling me that. But then I had my daughter, named her Katie, and we call her Katiebug most of the time. I liked it 'cause it sounded like ladybug, but the irony is not lost on me. ;0)5. I only saw the ocean for the first time when I was 30. And it was on the Texas coast and kinda gross and not really worth the wait, so I'd kinda still rather say I'd never seen the ocean. o_O

YES YES DO IT DO IT. That would be awesome because you and April are soooo cool. Well, this is awesome. All these short bloggers! Yay! We can all get together and not have to wear high heels or look up to each other. *stamps with approval* GO SHORTNESS. I'm actually finding a very subtle love for spread sheets myself. I have several on the go for different sections of books. The ocean is beautiful. I looove the ocean. I live like 30mins away and we go there a lot. XD

Awesome post! ~ I, too, hate spiders. HATE THEM!!!!!!!! ~ I like your reason for not wearing heels. That's good planning. ~ I've played piano since I was 7 . . . many many many years ago. (I've also learning many many many other instruments. I was a music ed major in college for a brief period of time.) ~ "Free Coffee" made me LOL!

I am an excellent planner if I do say so myself. WOW! That's a long time to be learning an instrument! I started at…12. >_< Weeell, I was learning recorder before then, but honestly, for me, I hated the recorder. It is an instrument of evil.

Loved this! I am a bit of a newbie to your blog (been following three or four months?) but I love your posts. 🙂 I have yet to say hello, though, so…hello!1. Musically inclined? I would say yes. I play the guitar, piano, and accordion, and I also like to sing. Whether or not I'm good at any of those four things is up to the person listening. ;)2. I must answer the spiders question. If there is a spider anywhere in the vicinity, I do one of two things: Either go all ninja and miraculously fly/leap to high/safe places, or yell for one of my siblings or my mom. *cough*3. I am an obsessive book collector. Ebooks, review books, ARCs, paperbacks from the local book store, I love them all. There is never too many books as far as I'm concerned. I would have mentioned the library in the above list, but I have since learned that they frown upon my keeping the books forever. ;)4. I love the Hallmark Channel series, When Calls the Heart.5. I alternate between loving high heels (zombies, you have been notified) and cowboy boots.So. There you go. 5 things about me.

HELLO GRACE!! (I'm always enthusiastic to meet now bloggish friends.) OH, you play a lot of instruments, you're amazing…accordion looks beyond hard to me. Ah, I can't even fathom how you do all those things at once. I used to yell for my dad to come kill my spiders but he takes so long and, eh, what if the little freak runs at me?! I've had to learn to kill them myself. I'm very sorry for myself. Hey, but at least you can kill the zombies with the high heel, so it could double as a bit of a weapon, right?

Your 'about' posts are always awesome and hilarious! It so cool that you are a quarter Italian and part German! I'm a quarter Japanese, Irish, English, Scottish, German, and just enough Iroquois to say I am. Though you'd never know I was mostly Japanese. . . Cait, don't feel too bad about your height. My grandma, whose from Japan, is like 4' 9''.

Aaaah!!!!! YOU ACTUALLY DID THE TAG!!!! *happiness* You guys are so funny…. Make me laugh, even though I don't comment as often as I should. (Apologies)I refuse to tell you 5 facts because I did eleven of those on my post, and let's be honest, that's hard. ( besides, I've been following you guys since this blog was a baby, and vice versa) Yaaaaaaaayyyy you got all the references!!!! (Good for Cait, wanting an impala. DEAN GIF!!!! *dies from happiness*Cheeeeers!!!

I DID IT I DID IT AREN'T YOU SO PROUD. That's okay, I mean you did pretty well to get through THREE tags. Gosh, just know you're loved and popular, though, right? I remember when you're blog had like 10 followers…*sniffs* Such fond memories. I think we had about 5 at that point. We were all so BABYISH AND ADORABLE. Dean GIFs…Dean GIFs should be eeeverywhere…

I also do drama, but not great at any of those three 😛 I think I'll stick to writing. And yeah, I get dinner at work, which is great. Being paid to eat for half an hour = awesome. If you two started a vlog channel I would be so happy, btw.

Woot for converse! Although, I wear fake converse because I'm cheap like that and I walked in them so much they're all split which means I have to choose: books or shoes. That's a decision no book lover should have to make.

GO QUEENSLANDER!! WOOT. (I'm originally from QLD…we kind of moved to NSW but the entire family hungers for our home state. There is no "go the blues" cheering over there. -_- Bleh.) I will just look up to you, then, in my shortness, and we can hug and admire our books together.

I shall call you Fezzik and you shall be my Fezzik. (Sorry, but it's always a good time for a The Princess Bride reference. xD) I want to go to England and Ireland, sooo bad! And Paris! I would love to see Paris (and eat all the Paris-ish food, which is the real reason, let's face it.) Congrats on getting your permit. 🙂 I like driving…heh, I like it a lot, actually. I still have 1 year to go before I'm on my fully-open license. I can drive by myself, but in Oz, they're called P plates and, yeah…they have restrictions. Boo. CINDER IS AWESOME.

Best. Post. Ever. I am endlessly amused and I really need to make your blog my go to place when I'm upset. But when I'm upset I don't think clearly and prefer to slam my head into a wall instead.But let's have a go at this. I'm bad at deciding five things about myself, but let's see.1. I have snobbish walls. I don't have pictures in my frames, sadly. I currently have a certification I won for taking a test. You know, now they give you certificates for taking tests. My walls annoy me for this reason. They think they're better than somebody. I really need to find some pictures to hang up. But money. . .2. I'm self teaching myself Japanese. Sort of. Mostly through animes, iPhone apps, and the glossary in the back of Ink by Amanda Sun. I don't know much yet, but I can say goodnight, answer a phone, and call someone an idiot. My sister and I use the latter a lot.3. I liked knee socks. I live in Florida where it is summer almost all year long. This doesn't work out as well as I'd like.4. I also like billowy trench coats. They don't work well here either.5. Um. Um. Oh right. I was supposed to be studying. I guess that's sort of about me.

Haha, I'm also 5'1" (and my little brother is 6'2"… sigh). Anyway, my five things:1. Cheese is my favorite food.2. I usually wear socks that don't match. Today it's one blue sock and one yellow sock.3. I love movies but I hardly ever see them at the theater.4. When I was little I wanted to be (at various times) an astronaut, a paleontologist/archaeologist, and a chef.5. Two years ago my hair reached all the way down my back and I am never doing that again because it was a pain to brush and wash. I like long hair, just… not QUITE that long. xD

Hello!! I have visited here many times before but I'm back! My name is Angie. My blog is Angela's Anxious Life which yes the title has nothing to do with books. 1. My blog title is strange because originally the blog was going to be a personal blog. That was boring so I changed. 2. I only get my books from the library. 3. I have two cats that are BOTH diabetic. 4. I love to go fishing and be outdoors.5. I love football and Nascar. 6. My five things don't seem as cool as everyone else's! LOL!

AWWW. THAT IS THE NICEST THING OF EVER. Well, apart from slamming your head into a wall. Don't do that. It breaks walls, from what I hear, and that's not fun.I don't have anything on my walls either. *sniffles* But that's not my choice. My parents like clean walls, sooo, I just put up bookshelves and hang all my things off them. Bookworm rebellion. Japanese sounds cool! HARD, but cool. I can see how the trench coats and socks wouldn't go over so well…I can't imagine I'd use them much in Oz either.

Woah, you're almost exactly like my brother in me! That's awesome, yet annoying, and I feel for you so much. The annoying part is when your brother uses your head as an elbow rest. -_-Cheese rocks. Cheese is the life of all meals. Mime and I say that everything is better with either chocolate or cheese. Or both. When I was little I never even had any life goals. I just played. I was a really smart little kid of course. My hair used to be past my waist too!!! I cut it in December. I am neeeever going back.

Hey, Angie!! YES! I know your blog! 🙂 🙂 And your things are totally cool! I'm kiiiind of allergic to cats, but awww, they both have diabetes? That must be difficult. I get most of my books from the library. And publishers. I hardly EVER buy books for myself (though if I had a billion dollars, you can guess what I'd be spending it on). XD

Hi! I'm Ella @ The Filipina Booknote :DSo 5 things about me..1. I'm from a tropical country, so yes I'd really really like to build a snow man someday. :p2. I. HATE. FROGS.3. I wanna learn how to drive and own a 1967 Chevy Impala. :D4. There were times whenever I wake up in the middle of the night, I imagine strigoi and zombies watching me from behind. 5. I like dogs but I don't want them getting near and licking and cuddling and sniffing me. I just want them far far away. :p

A huntsman in the shower???!!! I'd never go in again! I'm lucky to live in the UK where we don't have killer spiders for the most part. I've always wanted to visit Oz and NZ but the spider issue is a dealbreaker!

I feel so old next to you girls. I'm turning 32 this week.1. I've never watched Supernatural but know all about it from Tumblr and Pinterest posts. It just feels like there are too mnay seasons to start watching now.2. I have a book blog and a beauty blog, and never enough time to do both.3. I love hot chocolate (any chocolate really) but hate coffee. 4. I'm an ereader snob. I have a Sony I love, which is sadly dying, and don't want either a Kobo or Kindle but I can't replace my Sony, so I feel lost.5. I rarely buy books. When I do, I find it hard to spend more than $5 a book because my TBR pile is just too big.

I love your blog!1: I'm 13 but already doing college level stuff.2: I love cars! 3: My great great great ect granfather was possibly John Dilinger dun dun dun!4: I hate sunny days! I love thunderstorms! The sun it burns!5: I love music!Chloee.Thesecretghostcaller.blogspot.com

Aha, this is great. Um, five things about me? I don't know – I always think of these things when I don't need to. :P1. I almost chose my confirmation name after one of my characters, Agnetha. Instead, I've chosen Agatha, after the writer Agatha Christie.2. In real life, I don't understand fangirling. I don't have any physical/emotional reaction when I meet actors/authors I admire. I just smile and wave.3. I don't get the 1967 Chevy Impala reference, but I adore old cars.4. Following on from that, I may be getting driving lessons for my 19th birthday next month! Yay!5. I am (was, I guess, seeing as you're 5'1) the shortest person I know/in my friendship circle at 5'2 or '3.PO-TAY-TOES :Phttp://missalexandrinabrant.wordpress.com/
